Regular Expression

The regex analyzer is used to run arbitrary regular expressions against text data collected into a bundle. You can use the regex analyzer with any text data collector, such as the data, runPod, runDaemonSet, copy, logs, and exec collectors.

Parameters

Either regex or regexGroups must be set but not both.

This analyzer uses the Go library regexp from the Go standard library and uses Go's RE2 regular expression syntax

regex: (Optional) A regex pattern to test. If the pattern matches the file, the outcome that has set when to "true" will be executed. If no when expression has been specified, the pass outcome defaults to "true".

regexGroups: (Optional) A regex pattern to match. Matches from named capturing groups are available to when expressions in outcomes. The captured group names can be used as template variables in the when outcome message. These template variables will be replaced by the strings extracted through regular expression matching.

fileName (Required) Path to the file in support bundle to analyze. This can be an exact name, a prefix, or a file path pattern as defined by Go's filepath.Match function.

ignoreIfNoFiles (Optional) If no file matches, this analyzer will produce a warn outcome by default. This flag can be set to true in order to suppress the warning.
